Discovery of Prehistoric Ruins

Lush, leafy trees stood tall, and birds chirped.

"God..."

On a clearing high on a mountain, a group of primitive people covered in black fur knelt on the ground, praying and praising the sky with worship and reverence.

Su Qi looked down at the primitives, a thoughtful expression on his face.

At that moment, a prompt sounded in his mind.

[This simulation is about to end. Do you wish to save?]

Su Qi pondered, "Save it."

[Save successful. Please name it.]

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's call it 'Prehistoric Civilization'."

[Naming successful. Returning...]

As his voice fell, Su Qi's vision blurred, and he found himself back in his familiar old house with a large bed.

Looking around the familiar room, Su Qi felt a sense of daze.

[While you were in a daze, the rewards from this simulation have been distributed. They are as follows: Prehistoric Human Physique.]

In an instant, Su Qi's frail modern body rapidly strengthened.

His muscles became firm, and his arms looked full of power...

"What is this?" Su Qi was shocked.

He clenched his fist, feeling an immense surge of power. Even a special forces soldier might not be able to match him!

But then again, it made sense. Prehistoric humans dealt with fierce beasts every day, so their physical condition would naturally be strong. A single punch could probably take down a modern person.

"I can actually get things from the simulation world?"

Su Qi's eyes widened with surprise, then a craving for life appeared in them.

He had been transmigrated into this modern world, almost identical to his previous life, for three months.

He had already made plans, intending to make a fortune using his foreknowledge, or at the very least, become a great writer by plagiarizing. But then he discovered...

This body was suffering from lung cancer, and it was advanced. The cancer cells had already spread throughout his body...

Su Qi was despairing. But just as he was preparing to wait for death in his old house, the system for the simulation world line appeared!

The world's direction, the future, every second had countless possibilities, and this system could simulate those unknown possibilities.

The prehistoric world he had just experienced was a simulation by the system.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed.

He opened his palm and saw the glaring crimson blood.

Su Qi remained calm.

As expected, even after gaining the Prehistoric Human Physique, his cancer couldn't be cured. His condition might have improved slightly at best, but...

"If I simulate a world line with superpowers in the future, could I gain superpowers? Would my cancer be cured then?"

Su Qi's eyes lit up, a sense of urgency filling him.

[As you were thinking about continuing the simulation, you discovered that the next simulation is still 24 hours away.]

Su Qi: "..."

After a moment of speechlessness at the strange narration, he fell into thought, reflecting on his previous prehistoric experience.

Thinking about how he was treated as a god by those prehistoric humans, and the casual things he had done, Su Qi shook his head, not paying it any mind.

Simulations were simulations, after all. Everything was fake. How could he possibly be a god?

"I'm just an ordinary person." Su Qi gave a bitter smile.

"Good news!"

"Good news, Professor! We've excavated a prehistoric ruin!"

With a bang, the door was pushed open heavily!

A young man wearing glasses, exuding an scholarly aura, rushed in from outside the office, his face filled with excitement.

"Little Zhang, you're not young anymore. Why are you still so reckless?"

Sitting at a brown desk, Professor Chen, with his greying hair, looked up from his documents and frowned at him.

Because he was too focused on his reading, and Zhang Hao spoke too quickly, he hadn't quite heard what the other person said.

"No, Professor, listen to me..."

Zhang Hao panted and began to explain urgently.

Half a minute later...

"What? You're saying you discovered ruins, and from over ten thousand years ago?" Professor Chen's eyes widened.

Zhang Hao nodded. "That's right, Professor. After our initial examination, the ruins are at least ten thousand years old!"

"Where is it? Hurry and take me there!"

Professor Chen's face flushed red. Without a word, he firmly gripped Zhang Hao's arm, his face filled with excitement.

Ruins from over ten thousand years ago!

This might allow him to explore some prehistoric matters, like some secret information about prehistoric humans!

Even more so, he might even uncover some prehistoric truths, like the cause of that world-ending great flood.

"Let's go!"

He pulled Zhang Hao and they hurried outside.

Several hours later...

Professor Chen and Zhang Hao arrived at the site where the ruins were discovered.

It was an ancient and messy cave. Some staff members were clearing away debris, and the cave entrance was guarded by caution tape and security personnel.

A crowd of onlookers, along with well-informed reporters who had arrived early, were blocking the entrance, trying desperately to get in, even under the scorching sun.

Seeing Professor Chen get out of the car, some reporters who recognized him immediately had their eyes light up and quickly ran over.

"Professor Chen, Professor Chen, we heard you excavated ruins over ten thousand years old. Is that true?"

"Professor, is it convenient to reveal anything?"

"You..."

Listening to the barrage of questions and the microphones thrust towards him, especially seeing the cameras that seemed to be broadcasting live, Professor Chen's old face twitched.

Who leaked this information? This is outrageous!

"The ruins are still being excavated, and we don't have a clear picture of things yet."

After a casual explanation, he pushed forward, saying, "Please, everyone, make way..."

"Professor Chen, could you let us in to film?"

"The audience really wants to see what's inside, Professor Chen..."

Blocked by the security personnel, the reporters all looked unwilling and shouted repeatedly behind Professor Chen.

Professor Chen shook his head, ignoring the reporters, and was about to enter the cave with Zhang Hao.

Just then, a staff member in their twenties walked over and said with some embarrassment, "Professor, some reporters will be coming in later. We hope you can show them around."

"Ridiculous! These ruins aren't even properly organized yet. How can we let them in? What if they damage the ruins!" Professor Chen reprimanded.

"But Professor..." The staff member looked helpless and pointed upwards, his meaning self-evident.

Professor Chen frowned, sighing repeatedly in his heart.

Unable to refuse, he sternly said, "Go tell them they can only film and not touch anything. Otherwise, we'll have to ask them to leave!"

The staff member nodded and quickly ran to call people.

Before long, a man and two women in various attire, clearly from different television stations, along with several staff members carrying cameras, walked straight over.

After reiterating his warning to the three reporters not to wander or touch anything, Professor Chen, accompanied by the staff member, walked further inside.

As they walked, the reporters behind them began their introductions.

"Dear viewers, this is the site of the prehistoric ruins."

A dignified female reporter, affiliated with an official media outlet, gestured around the cave with her hand.

Lamps were hung inside the cave, and the bright lights illuminated every detail.

Qin Feng smiled at the camera and said, "Here, I will lead you to uncover the secrets of prehistoric humans..."

Viewers across the country, whether on their computers, phones, or sitting in front of their televisions, marveled.

"Holy crap! Ancient ruins from ten thousand years ago, awesome!"

"So curious about what's inside."

"Me too..."

As more and more people became aware of the prehistoric ruins, the matter quickly became a trending topic.

Netizens were all curious, eager to know what was inside the prehistoric ruins.

As they went deeper, some things appeared on the cave walls – these were murals carved with knives and axes.

"These look like some kind of sacrificial scenes," Professor Chen frowned slightly.
